Seems to me things worked out well for him. 

Seems to me he came to NT knowing the LB corps was super-thin after the 2018 season,
got scared or thought he could do better,
went to a JUCO to shine & get some eyes on him,
then wound up at a FCS school.

Definitely downgraded.

Define downgrade.

He transfers, makes second team All-SWJCFC, and no has a scholly where he has a good chance to start.  I assume he's a kid who wants to play so for him this seems better than riding the pine at UNT.

Sounds very Gio Vizza to me.   Scared.
Again, he had to see that both Garner & Ejiya were going to graduate this year, so he had to look to the right & left at guys like LeMasters, Linehan, Thornton & Harrison, then KD Davis, Jordan Hunt & Nixon, and think, "Geez, I can't play ahead of these guys... better go JUCO."

Exactly.  He went JUCO ... rebuilt his value ... and now is maybe at the best place for him to find success.  That's a win for Kulp.  We should be glad for him.  Bashing him serves no purpose.

I don’t think Vizza was so much scared of losing his job to Rodge as he was tired of losing and he wanted to smoke pot against Todge’s wishes.

Vizza just got beaten (literally) down so much that he decided to quit football than try playing anymore. I suppose that getting pounded into the Fouta turf and sitting in a below standard locker room was worse than his Alamo Heights days and just decided to give up. I can’t really blame him—he knew that Rodge was just going to enjoy the same treatment and he did.

I see your point but you cant fault the kid for trying. Sometimes gambles pay off and sometimes they dont. Wish the kid nothing but the best.

Did he run from competition here, or was there another reason behind his transfer?  Either way, beating the kid down serves no purpose. 

Noticed Chet Munden replied to his Twitter post. I didn’t realize he was at SFA.

Feels weird to talk down about a guy who got a scholarship and playing time somewhere when that is exactly our argument for why a borderline guy should come here instead of riding the pine at a P5. 

We say commit here over a P5. Big difference over the transfer portal. If a transfer goes to a P5 he knows he has a shot to play.

We aren't a P5 so we have to do well with the 25 spots we get a year. He signed here taking a spot from another player. 

If his reasoning for leaving were just or not that still means he quit.

Oh man, not from me.  I hate that rhetoric.

Too many times the P5 benchwarmers prove to be the same at the G5 level.   You can either play, or you can’t.

We signed him as part of our 2019 class but he never made it to campus or the roster

Correct. I remember that was a big deal that he never even made it to campus

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.

      The Band

      that's a damn good question. there was 1 hot game, game 2 of the year, yet they arent in full uniform all year. back in the day, full uniform was demanded all game, except for the third quarter when we got to take off the jacket...
